A chimney cowl serves a number of important functions — it prevents birds and debris from entering your chimney, reduces downdraught that can push smoke back into your room, and protects the liner and flue from rain and water ingress. If your cowl is damaged, missing, or not the right type for your chimney and stove setup, it can affect performance significantly.
Ultimate Stoves Yorkshire Ltd supplies and fits chimney cowls across Yorkshire. We'll assess your chimney and recommend the right type of cowl for your situation.
Anti-bird cowl: Prevents birds from nesting in or entering the chimney flue — essential for unused chimneys and liner tops.
Anti-downdraught cowl: Designed to prevent wind-induced downdraught pushing smoke and fumes back down the chimney.
Pot-hanging cowl: Fits over the existing chimney pot — suitable for use with solid fuel appliances including stoves.
Spinner/rotary cowl: Wind-activated rotating cowl that increases draught in problem chimneys.
